May  the  Korea  Movement  mean  as  much  for  the 
spiritual  uplift  of  the  Church  in  America  as  it  means  for 
the  financial  uplift  of  the  Church  in  Korea. — Keynote.

The  Korea  Movement 


Some  people  believe  that  the  title  on  the 
first  page  of  this  folder  is  not  true.  They 
are  willing  to  concede  the  spiritual  helpful- 
ness of  the  Movement,  but  can  not  see 
how  the  sending  of  A large  sum  of  money 
to  a foreign  field  can  financially  help  the 
home  church.  The  statement  is  more  than 
a paradox  to  them — ^it  is  an  irreconcilable 
contradiction.  The  subject  is  w^orthy  of 
our  candid  consideration. 

Eveiy  true  pastor  places  the  emphasis  of 
his  ministry  on  the  SPIRITUAL  work  of 
his  church  and  is  not  satisfied  until  he 
secures  spiritual  results.  Nothing  can 
compensate  for  lack  of  the  Divine  BLESS- 
ING on  his  work. 

That  there  is,  also,  a very  close,  vital 
relation  between  money  AND  the  king- 
dom, pastors  know. 

The  gifts  of  the  people  are  a test  of  their 
devotion  to  Christ.  A movement,  w^hich, 
entered  into  heartily  by  the  pastors,  will 
reveal  to  the  church  members  material 
resources  w^hich  they  had  not  dreamed  pos- 
sible, wdU  prove  A GREAT  FINANCIAL 
HELP. 

We  believe  that  any  pastor  who  will 
carefully  study  the  plans  will  be  convinced 
that  THE  KOREA  QUARTER-CExNTEN- 
NIAL  MOVEMENT  will  be  so  conducted 
that  it  will  be  a spiritual  blessing  and  a 
great  financial  aid  TO  ALL  PARTICIPAT- 
ING CHURCHES. 


Plans 

We  propose  to  safeguard  the  regular  in- 
terests  of  the  church.  Looking  to  the 
pastors  to  cooperate  in  the  public  presenta- 
tion of  Korea’s  needs,  the  secretaries  of  the 
Movement  will  make  no  pubUc  appeals  in 
the  congregations  for  contributions  or 
pledges  unless  invited  to  do  so. 

The  Movement  will  not  appeal  to  Sunday 
Schools  or  Epworth  Leagues  for  pledges. 

The  Movement  will  be  educational  and 
spiritual  and  will  rely  on  quiet,  personal 
effort  to  secure  financial  results,  guarding 
at  all  times  the  interests  of  the  regular 
benevolences  and  of  the  local  church 
budget. 

How,  Then,  are  the  Above  Results 
To  Be  Secured? 

First,  Spiritually.  The  study  of  one  of 
the  most  remarkable  spiritual  movements 
in  history  and  a participation  in  it,  by 
helping  to  enlarge  the  area  of  its  operation 
and  increase  its  fruitage,  will  yield  the 
richest  spiritual  blessings. 

The  study  of  Korea  in  transition,  giving 
your  congregation  the  opportunity  of  hear- 
ing of  the  wonderful  work  of  God  among 
this  people,  vnll  strengthen  the  faith, 
quicken  the  zeal  and  stimulate  the  spiritual 
activity  of  your  church. 

Second,  Financially.  We  wall  furnish  you, 
free  of  cost,  refreshing  and  fascinating  lit- 
erature on  Korea,  its  history,  people,  the 
great  revival  and  the  peerless  opportunity 
for  Christian  conquest  there. 

^ This  material  you  can  use,  if  you  so  de- 
sire, m the  preparation  of  two  Sunday 
morning  sermons,  one  for  January  22  and 


the  other  for  KOREA  DAY,  JANUARY  29, 

IQtX. 

The  plan  contemplates  that  in  connec- 
tion with  your  sermon  on  January  22  you 
urge  your  people,  for  the  week  beginning 
January  23  and  ending  January  29,  to 
practice  the  most  rigid  self-denial,  at  the 
table,  in  expenditures  for  pleasures  and  in 
all  other  possible  ways,  laying  aside  what 
they  save  by  this  method  that  they  may 
bring  it  to  the  House  of  God  on  January 
29,  when  you  will  deliver  the  closing  ad- 
dress on  Korea  and,  amid  hymns  of  praise, 
receive  their  offerings,  which  will  represent 
sacrifice  for  Christ’s  sake  for  the  winning 
of  Korea. 

There  could  be  no  better  preparation  for 
revival  work  than  this.  People  have  been 
converted  through  simply  hearing  the  story 
of  the  Pentecostal  revivals  in  the  Orient. 

We  beheve  that  every  pastor  who  enters 
heartily  into  this  plan  will  render  the 
largest  possible  service  to  his  people  and  at 
the  same  time  will  reveal  to  them  a method 
by  which  church  enterprises  can  be  ade- 
quately financed — the  method  of  self-denial 
for  Jesus’  sake — and  thus  will  make  this 
Movement  prove  a great  financial  help  to 
his  church. 

Securing  money  by  such  a method  will 
not  lessen  the  gifts  to  any  other  cause. 
More  than  that— having  experienced  the 
joy  of  rigid  self-denial  for  the  Master’s  sake 
in  order  that  an  empire  may  be  laid  at  His 
scarred  feet  as  the  firstfruits  of  the  gospel 
in  the  Orient,  His  followers  will  the  more 
readily  practice  self-denial  for  other  causes 
at  home  and  abroad. 

In  this  way  the  Movement,  will  fulfill  the 


desire  of  those  who  are  promoting  it — a 
deep,  prayerful  longing  that  it  may  prove 
to  be  TO  THE  ENTIRE  CHURCH  A 
Source  of  Permanent  Spiritual  and  Financial 
Blessing,  Issuing  in  New  Conceptions  of  the 
Stewardship  of  Life  and  of  Service  and  of 
Money,  and  in  Gracious  and  Far-Reaching 
Revivals  of  New  Testament  Religion. 

If  you  will  cooperate  with  us,  please  fill 
out  and  mail  at  once  the  enclosed  return 
postal  card  and  we  will  send  you,  free  of 
cost,  the
